Elizabeth requires pool yards to be enclosed with a 6-foot high fence meeting International Building Code requirements (Ch. 17.36 zoning). The NJ Barrier Subcode (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14(b)) sets the statewide minimum at 48 inches with self-closing, self-latching gates. Elizabeth's 6-foot requirement exceeds the state minimum. Gates must have latches placed at least 4 feet above grade and be inaccessible to small children from outside. Barriers must not be climbable from the outside. NJ requires pool barrier compliance at time of property sale.
